According to market analysts, the local unit has been appreciating because of multiple positive indicators since Ishaq Dar took over as finance minister.
Fuel and electricity prices had been reduced while inflation in September was measured at 23.18pc compared to expectations of 27 per cent, they add.
Analysts further say rupee will extend its rise in days to come.
The local unit gained Rs11.2 or 4.9% against the dollar in the interbank market last week.
